This happened because it's supposed to happen. This is in the vinum documentation, placed very logically, several pages too late to help someone who is trying to wing it from the documentation (hark to the voice of experience!) ;-) In particular, look at the "Gotchas" and the "start" command. Read the documentation all the way through, and try to understand the examples, and it will all make much more sense.
